Inverter Victron Energy MultiPlus PMP122160000 12V 1600W 70A

Victron Energy MultiPlus PMP122160000 is a combined inverter and charger designed for 12V systems requiring reliable AC power and battery management. With 1600W continuous inverter output and an integrated 70A charger, the unit provides seamless transfer between inverter and mains, supports battery charging from shore or generator, and integrates into off-grid, marine and mobile power installations. The compact design and established power conversion technology make it suitable for backup power, caravans, boats and small renewable energy systems where uninterrupted AC supply and battery conditioning are important.

Advantages

The MultiPlus delivers continuous 1600W inverter power with high surge capability for starting loads, while the built-in 70A charger simplifies system architecture by combining charging and inverter functions in one unit. Automatic transfer switching ensures uninterrupted AC supply when mains or shore power is lost or restored. The device is compatible with battery-based energy systems and supports intelligent charging profiles to maintain battery health. Integration with monitoring systems and selectable operating modes facilitate flexible use in diverse environments.

Suitable for

• Backup power for small household loads and critical appliances
• Caravans and campervans requiring AC supply from 12V batteries
• Marine installations on boats and yachts with shore power connection
• Small off-grid solar systems where inverter and charger functions are needed

Key specifications

• Nominal DC voltage: 12 V
• Continuous AC output power: 1600 W
• Integrated battery charger current: 70 A
• Automatic transfer switch for seamless changeover between AC sources
• High surge capacity for motor and compressor starts
• Suitable for lead-acid and other battery types with programmable charge profiles

How to use

Install the unit according to manufacturer installation guidelines, ensuring correct DC and AC wiring, adequate ventilation and secure mounting. Connect the 12V battery bank to the DC input, and connect AC loads to the inverter output. When shore power or generator supply is present, the integrated charger will charge the battery and support AC loads; when external AC is lost, the inverter provides AC power automatically. Configure charging parameters and operating modes through available interfaces or a compatible control panel to match battery type and system requirements.

Recommendations

Position the inverter-charger in a dry, ventilated location away from heat sources and salt spray in marine applications. Use appropriately sized DC cabling and fuses to minimize voltage drop and protect the system. For optimal battery life, set charging profiles to match the battery chemistry and monitor system performance regularly using compatible monitoring tools.
